Abraham Curiel (1545-1609), alias Jeronimo Nunes Ramires, was a
physician and the son of the wealthy merchant
Jacob Curiel of Coimbra of
Coimbra.[1][2][3] Curiel is described in several sources as "one of the greatest doctors of his time."[4]
Curiel qualified as a doctor of medicine in 1567 and remained at the University of Coimbra for further studies in medicine. In 1987, British historian
Jonathan Israel wrote "Dr Jeronimo Nunes Ramires himself showed much less zest for travel than most of his brothers and is mainly noted for his long Latin treatise on blood-letting."[9] This "360-page Latin treatise on blood-letting" was "inspired in a large part by
Galen, the De Ratione Curandi per Sanguinis."[10]
